" None of the words that could be interpreted as such a “sign,” such as eikōn (image), are used of Baptism or the Lord’s Supper in the New Testament. Nowhere is it written that Baptism is an image or a sign of regeneration. It is the washing of regeneration (Titus 3:5). “We were buried therefore with Him by Baptism into death” (Rom. 6:4). “You were buried with Him in Baptism, in which you were also raised…. And you … God made alive together with Him” (Col.2:12—13). Also the word tupos in the sense of model or image is not used of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper or of their elements. "
